I'm not saying these themes need to be littered around TES, but I personally prefer playing more realistic and grittier types of games and, for me, mature themes make the world more believable. Especially in a world riddled in warfare, death and suffering.

I know a lot of you are going to be put off by this idea. Mainly because a lot of games have put a bad name to a lot of these things. (I'm looking at you Mass Effect and Dragon Age!) But let's face it, this game was based off of a medieval/middle-age theme. All of these themes were extremely prevalent and part of everyday life for those times

If Bethesda took a leaf out of The Witcher 1&2 and A Song of Ice and Fire (Game of Thrones), (this isn't a successful gaming franchise but is an incredibly amazing book and T.V. series) then they could really tackle mature themes in a good way.

However much you may hate The Witcher and/or ASoIaF, they portray realistic issues extremely well.

Personally, I do find it quite annoying how a world which is caught up in so many troubling issues, (war, racism, religious persecution) is devoid of any full frontal 'mature' content.

I know this is going to cause people to bring up strange PC nudity mods and the like, but please, look at the use of the word mature.

tl;dr - Read it you lazy f***er.---We do not sow.

maybe to some degree.---The price of Victory is high, but so are the rewards.

There's so much alcohol in Tamriel already we don't need more... And to be honest no this would alienate people in their fanbase and some things just don't exist in TES, and I really don't want a ridiculous amount of content that turns me off from a game I would like

This stuff is already there. It's just implied, rather than displayed. I, for one, think it's better that way.---Look, for the last time: Kirby has explained it over and over!http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk138/Schesparn/11911255317531.gif

Yeah, I see what you're saying. I personally think it needs to be a bit more obvious. Sexual content for example. Prostitution, the oldest occupation in the world, is nowhere to be seen in Skyrim. Realistically, there would be a brothel in every town.

I know that sounds childish, ironically, but if we forget what games like Fable did with those kind of issues, and look it at from a realistic point of view, it could work very well.

Just one example. But, for me, it would add a lot of realism within the world.---We do not sow.

No. Leave that to The Witcher series.---Talos is the new Jesus. Spread the word.
